snap!My husband and I had a couple glasses of an excellent Chilean wine, made some popcorn, and watched Superstar. What a hilarious and very clever spoof. Don't be deceived by the bright and silly exterior of this film. A lot of thought and artistry went into it. And here I go...I find it to be just as funny and clever for a Hollywood spoof as Spinal Tap is to the rock music industry/machine.
We both were going to watch it for $h*ts and giggles and my husband, I could tell, didn't want to like it (he wanted to be a little put out for me making him watch it :o)). His cute little game backfired because it was a laugh a minute. I will include a link (see below the beautiful pig pic). The reviews at Amazon are good but don't be scared by the "customers who bought this also bought..." section. The only film on that list for me that was mildly entertaining was "Clueless." I didn't care for any of the others.

Somwewhat amusing (a couple of Guffaws, several snickers, and a few "eye-rollers"). Pretty predictable. Not a Butt-Horrible movie, but I don't think I liked it as much as you. I thought the "Lord" was a good idea which could have been played a little funnier.Of course, it may have been that the wine was a Spanish one, not Chilean. :)
"Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does."
wow, I was wondering if you saw it...many people watch these spoof movies like waynes world and spinal tap and even such hub bub about something about mary...I laughed just as much with this show as any of the others...
It wasn't just thrown together...and it is more clever than you might think upon first glance. Predictable YES!!!...down to every last detail just as hollywood films are so predictable, then they have to add plots and twists to try and create interest, which in turn become even more predictable. It was a complete hollywood spoof movie.
Maybe it was the wine!

You've convinced me. I always used to get a kick out of that character on SNL.Wine and film matching - may be the new rage!
" Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat... college."
by the popcorn and wine combo?I add a splash of cherry 7-up to my merlot and it is just peachy. And when I feel adventurous, I make popcorn the old fashioned way, in a pan on the stove. "If I'm really getting jiggy with it," I burn it ever so slightly and put some butter drippings on it :o) Makes for a delightful evening. Life is in the little details.
Enjoy the film!

My only objection to mixing wine with whatever, would be don't use a really GOOD wine. I mean mixing soda with a $10 merlot is one thing. Mixing it with Chateau Petrus could get you shot in France (actually just being an American in France is enough right now, eh Patrick?).Now popcorn with Crown and Coke - THAT's a winning combo!
" Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat... college."
Actually we shot Americans who donīt buy a Petrus, at least....
What a mixture ! Cherry / up and wine...Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........
I spent 6 months in Budapest when I was in college and all the students there liked to drink red wine with Coke! Except the Greek students - who liked to mix orange juice with ouzo. Barf! My brother stayed at a super fancy hotel in Bali 3 years ago and witnessed Japanese vacationers drinking $200 bottles of red wine from glasses of ice.Personally, the cherry 7-up and Merlot combo sounds foul . . but whatever floats your boat. I like my red wine neat and at room temperature. But then I'm a fan of the shandy - dropping a dallop of frozen lemonade concentrate into a 22 oz glass of cheap beer. My friends pretend to gag when they see me making it.
into red wine...very yummy tastes like dessert. I like my wine diluted (watered wine...Latin style :o)) I enjoy the sweetness of red wine but it is too full bodied for me... I also dilute for necessity sometimes I develop random allergic reactions to sulfites. The Chilean wine has been the most favorable to me.mp
And bad taste is still bad taste...
I used to add a little crushed ice and diet orange soda...to a sweet merlot....tastes like sangria...honestly.Whatever floats your boat...
